Answer
You have to repeat your entire question. I do not have access to previous questions, so I do not know the dates that you mantioned in your previous question. However, if you have a regular 28 day cycle, and had a positive pregnancy test and now the urine test is negative, either you are performing the urine test incorrectly, or you are not pregnant. I would suggest getting a blood test for pregnancy (Beta HCG) two time, 48 hours apart. If there is a doubling of the results iin 48 hours, you are pregnant. If there is a halving of the results iin 48 hours, you are miscarrying. If the results show a value of less than 5, you were never pregnant. The best time to take the test is two four weeks after your last normal period.
